Prayers

I’m about to go to sleep with a big day waiting tomorrow.  At 6:45am I leave to pick up a scared momma to get her to court on time.  Tomorrow G has to make some really difficult decisions for her son.  She has to think through what it means to leave him well, not just what she wants.  She has to come to terms with her mental illness and the limitations that it brings on her current ability to be a mom.  She has to decide to fight for health and a future with him.  And she has to do something harder than I can imagine… ask that her son be given to someone else for a time until she can take care of him.  Please pray.  Pray that she will have the strength to do what she needs to do.  Pray that she will know God’s peace.  Pray that we will be able to love her well and support her through this difficult day.  And pray for little E and the transition that he will soon be facing in his life, whatever that may look like.  We’re all going to have transition… those who have been his caretakers at PDE, those who will soon have him full-time, those of us who see him on a daily basis who won’t anymore, etc.  So we’re bound to be a crying mess.  You can pray for us too :)  We sure do love this little guy.
